Glass mosaic murals depicting scenes of theater, dance, and orchestra-related subjects are scattered throughout this station.


I have photographed tile artworks from several NYC subway stations now, so far, all are westside Manhattan subway lines, including the West 34th Street/Pennsylvania Station (A, C & E trains), Chambers Street (A & C trains), Houston Street (1 train), Pennsylvania “Penn” station (1, 2 & 3 trains) [subway art archives] and, my favorite subway station of all, the American Museum of Natural History station at 81st and Central Park West (B & C trains) [AMNH archives].

    I’ve been watching you post these for a little while now, waiting for this one! The one by AMNH may be more beautiful, but this is my favorite. It was my station when I lived in NYC, and the first one I noticed to have a usually-working elevator. Thanks!
